The two cities are very worth this side trip. Note that there is a lot of driving required.
I encourage the guide to be careful not to leave members of the group behind. There was a lengthy emphasis on the silver shops (it was even the first stop in Taxco and then there were two others), and this should be shortened.

This tour was not what I expected. I assumed there would be a tour leader to show us around and give explanations. There was only a driver who knew some English. He tried hard but was not what I expected.
There was a lot more time driving than I expected. Cuernavaca was just a stop to see the Cathedral. In Taxco there was a stop at a fake silver mine for some explanation and then shopping in the attached jewelry store. Then there was lunch, a short walk through town with a stop at the cathedral and then shopping at another jewelry store. The driver did not set time limits on the shopping so there was a lot of standing around and waiting. Then a long walk back to the bus.
If you expect to see an interesting colonial town, this is not it

The trip was amazing!
We spent such a wonderful time in Cuernavaca and Taxco. Both places are so historical and unique, especially Taxco which is reminded me Toledo town in Spain. Also, Taxco known as a place where silver and silver products are mined and sold. I would definitely recommend the tour.

The trip was very well organized. Our guide, Abner was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and kind. Our driver, Adan was an expert driver and was very attentive.

I really enjoyed a trip to picturesque Taxco. Our guide, Dante, was excellent; he even arranged to pick me up from my hotel and drop me off at the end of the tour. It was a big difference from the day before, when I was supposed to go to Taxco with another tour agency, Amigo Tours. They failed to pick me up from the meeting point indicated on my ticket, saying they had changed the location.
As a result, I didn't join them and booked this trip for the following day. It was a fabulous day and very well-organized excursion with plenty of free time.

It’s a lot walking that includes up and down cobbled street and lots of hillls and stairs. But it’s beautiful.

Adan was super knowledgeable and friendly. His passion for the history of the sites is evident. Great tour and experience.

Prepare for a day long trip, but pleasurable and interesting, the guide was knowledgeable and our driver drove safely.

Excellent booking. Vendor was great at communicating with us about pickup and providing context for each site that was visited.

I was a last minute guest who signed up about an hour before pickup. I had deliberated on several trip options the night before and reached out to Viator customer service who promptly replied to my email requests on two different trips, including sending links to sign up. The next morning I signed up, immediately the tour agent contacted me and confirmed my trip. I asked if it were possible, if convenient, to get a pick up at no charge. It was confirmed and they gave me a timeframe. Pickup went smoothly. The trip was in a comfortable van with AC and with 7 other passengers. The entire trip was well done in both Spanish and English. Tour guide was organized and gave historical context to the sites. We had time to shop, stopped for bathroom/snacks (on your own expense) on the way to Cuernavaca. Lunch was late afternoon at a nice restaurant (not included in price).
The driver was exceptional. He drove safely and knew the roads well. His skilled driving saved us time on the return to CDMX which was nice after a long day trip.
The trip itself was very reasonably priced. Tips not included, and the guide and driver well deserved acknowledgment for a job well done.
I will use Viator again for excursions and recommend this trip. There is uphill walking on slick cobblestones and long drive to destinations, so keep in mind.

A long day but seeing Cuernavaca and Taxco is great. Guide Alan and driver very good and nice and helpful. Van was newer and very comfortable.

I don't give it the 5 stars for a safety issue, we had a little mishap on the road with another vehicle, both were at fault, I think drivers should drive more carefully and be cautious, exceeding a mule on a two-lane track is dangerous. I also think they should let people choose where to eat and not take them to specific places, where food is more expensive. Otherwise I liked Taxco is very cute, but we delayed a lot in silver jewelry places and that took time to walk through its streets and tour more. Cuernavaca did not delay, it was coming in to leave, I would have liked to travel more.

The best thing about the Tour was undoubtedly our guide Marco Antonio, and mention also our driver Andrés.

The transfer and friendliness, was fine, but they did not fulfill what promised to visit, did not clarify at first and took us to a place for lunch, but each paid their bill, it could still be said that the place was optional. For the rest of it.

Taxco is a beautiful town, a must. The stop in Cuernavaca was balanced, long enough. We arrived at Taxco in good time. Perhaps what would be missing is having at least an additional hour of walking around the village; currently they give an hour and it is not enough to go through it and do shopping

The itinerary offered is not fulfilled.
In Cuernavaca the tour to the cathedral was no more than 20 min, even less. Then they only left 20 minutes free (instead of 1 hour) which was to go freely around the cathedral, go to the bathroom, and see the fair in front. They wouldn't let you roam the village. Too bad as I had to do considering 1 hour off.
The visit to silverware totally unnecessary, which interests you has many reins to choose from.
The very nice taxco village
